Member 438 Member For: 21y 6m 1d Location: Victoria Posted 09/03/04 12:17 AM Share Posted 09/03/04 12:17 AM With a better auto and what I hope will be a bit more than 270kw when released, I'd have to say I'm pretty interested. Depend on pricing though. Either way I'll be keeping the T for a couple of years yet so I guess I've got plenty of time to see what unfolds.

Mondie Firm Member Donating Members 2,924 Member For: 22y 7m 16d Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 09/03/04 02:32 AM Share Posted 09/03/04 02:32 AM What about you Chris?You were all keen on one 6 months ago, still interested?l think at $55k it would be a good option, but if its priced closer to $59k you may as well get the GT. Ford have said the price will be in the $56-59k range, and it will only be 40kg lighter than a GT. So they have managed to create another lard arse :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9529-will-you-be-buying-a-typhoon/page/2/#findComment-99160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im waiting around for a better gearbox for the T and maybe the one in the Typoo is it. Auto gearbox that is. If I had the money, Id buy a GT and mod it.

Guest WHITEXR6T Guests Posted 09/03/04 04:12 AM Share Posted 09/03/04 04:12 AM Still un-decided. If the rumours are true, then I will seriously consider trading in the T for the Typhoon.
